No that's Jefferson Airplane. 😁

I used to gig with a bi-amped rig and an Akai Unibass pedal. The highs went to a 4x12 cab, the lows to a 2x15 cab and the distorted octave up plus a fifth above went to a Line6 guitar amp. Absolutely rediculous... ... but immense. 🙂👍

Maybe - Oasis

You're right, and I did actually mean to put that. Freudian slip? 🤔 😁

69 Tears - Question Mark & The Mysterians (or The Stranglers)

This seems to have gone unnoticed. I've no experience of any of the newer series of BB's so can't help but hopefully this reply will stir a response from someone who has.

There's also a natural BB 400S, ends tomorrow.

0:46 Bb to C, not going above the third fret, on only the E string? 🤔 My bass must be tuned wrong. 😁

Better crack on and buy it quick then! 😄

Ooh, Marcus Miller has an ugly sister.

Boris: There's not a fuel shortage! Man on forecourt: I say there is Boris, and I should know, I've seen a few. Crowd: Hail, fuel shortage! Boris: There's not a fuel shortage! Will you please listen?! There's not a fuel shortage, do you understand?! Honestly! Woman: Only a true liar denies his untruths! Boris: What? Well what sort of chance does that give me? All right then, there is a fuel shortage! Crowd: There is! There is a fuel shortage! Boris: Now, f**k off!!

Don't Ask Me - PiL

I've just properly set up my 424, the works, nut slots, neck relief, saddles etc, and have just spent a couple of hours playing it. It really does play like a dream now. I balanced the pickup heights to get everything even between pickups and across the board and I really like how the reverse P mod has turned out. Lovely warm, punchy top end. I plugged in a chorus pedal and played along with far too much Joy Division, it really does those melodic lines on the G string with the D string droning to a tee now. Which has upped my gas for a BBPH now. This mod was supposed to quash that need. 🙄😄

Poison Ivy - The Lambrettas

Cos then I'd struggle finding strings that aren't designed for girls. 😉

Thunder in the Mountains - Toyah

Lover's Rock - The Clash

Ooh ooh, what's on its way?

Roots Radicals - Rancid

Roots Bloody Roots - Sepultura

Well if you're after a 1600 you may as well get a 2024 as well and report back. I'll be over here waiting for the results. 😁

Quite. Andy kindly offered it to me for a good price before he put it up for sale, unfortunately I just couldn't justify buying it at the mo, but was toing and froing in my mind all week whether to just buy it anyway. Then it was sold and I'm disappointed and relieved at the same time. Hopefully it's gone to an appreciative home where it will get played.

Can I add that you need to move far more than you'd think. I used to think I was getting into the music and moving around, but when I looked back at video recordings I barely looked like I was moving. If you want the audience to see you movin' and a groovin' you need to over emphasise your movements.

I remember Flea saying something along the lines of always giving the best possible show you can, even if only one person is at a show, that one person has come to see you and deserves the best you can give. Whilst energy at a gig between audience and band is definitely a reciprocated thing, and it's sometimes difficult to give your all when there's a poor turnout, I always try to remember Fleas words.

Our soundman has asked me about linear array system suitabilty as afull band PA, so this thread is very interesting. We have no amps on stage, just monitors and everything through the PA. Do you think the lack of low mid/emphasised low bass is just a Mark Audio thing or just an inherent feature in linear array systems? Probably wrongly, I've always suspected these systems are very good for a disco but not so much for a band.
